An acquaintance of mine was taking a pregnancy test. When her husband asked what the result was, she told him there wasn't any. She didn't realize that she needed to peel the celophane from the stick.

Aren't you glad you didn't spend money on a new ruler?!

Not with a ruler but I DID use my rotary cutter for a year before I realized it was set up for a lefty......when replacing the blade (about the 6th one!!!) i discovered I could "change" it over for a righty!!!!!! Wondered why it didn't cut very well at times!!!!!! I thought it was cuz some rulers were thicker!!!

OH - one time I couldn't get my new printer to work!!!! Wouldn't print ANYTHING -- ACTED like it wanted to print, actually ran the paper thru. I finally, after phone calls, etc, had a guy I work with come over to help. Turns out there's a little tape thingy over the hole where the ink is supposed to come out!!! LOL :oops:

Too cute. When we do stuff it makes us want to cut others some slack when they have an !Oh My! moment. When I got my June Taylor Shape-cut I must have thrown the wrapper and directions away. I had it forever and didn't know what to do with it. I went back to the store and read the directions on a new one. Ummmmm. Well, enjoy your brand new, newly unwrapped ruler.

I can identify. I was upset because I thought I had ruined the touch pad on the microwave with my fingernails. Turns out I had been using it for two years without peeling off the protective plastic. It was the protective plastic that I had perforated with my nails. Doh! This is the first time I have ratted myself out.

It takes a brave woman to admit that one...lol...we are laughing w/ u....he he

My husband does the same thing. Leaves the plastic it on to protect it he says. Everything looks great years later when it dies and we throw it out!
